    Question Anyone running 20" Mudlites on a sport trike?

    I've had a set of ML's on a 250sx and fell in love with them. they were 22 inch jobs tho. I'm looking for feedback on the 20 inchers on the back of a sport trike. specifically a 350X?

    Anyone? pros and cons?

    I think they would be good on the 350X.I had the 22X11X8 on my 225.They are a great all around tire.I think the 20's would make it a little more ruff on the ride.But you will make up for that with more stability.

    They seem like a decent tire but they wear too fast. A friend of mine has a stock Big Bear 400 and it came with Mudlites from the factory, they're already half gone and the quad was only driven for one summer. I had my 06 twice as long and was constantly doing burnouts and stuff with it (Maxxis stock treads), and the tread was in about the same shape. He's a tame rider compared to me.

    That's what I was thinkin doggy. I ride in alot of loose rocks and rough terrian. and they kicked butt in the mud. I also like the fact they're lite and 6 ply.

    pic of the sx.. I really miss that ride.

    My friend has them on a 300ex (20'') and they do good in mud and basically everywhere else. They do wear fast though, A friend has the 27s on his rincon and I had some on my old 4x4 and they dont last like a sport tire does.

    Maybe the ones my friend and Super90 got were defective? All I know is, my Maxxis stock treads still had knobs left, after me drifting, roosting, burnouts, etc for a year and a half of using the quad almost every day. My buddy's was half or more worn after 3 months of medium duty use, every 2 days or so.

    Alot of guys run the mudsharks and mudzilla's on their banshee's and sport quads here. I can see them wearing quickly on a two stroke, but I'm lucky if I get out twice a month for a few hours... surly they should last a good while.

    Hey edog,, got any pics of you slingin mud on that 225?

    Too late! lol

    I'm sure they'll work good enough for my style of riding (I just hope they dont hook too well and send me for a ride)

    Can't wait to rip up the silt pits!!!!
